Second, isn't it illegal to actually own a 35mm print of a copyrighted movie?  I thought there was discussion around here a while ago about that.  Didn't somebody get fined or arrested for having 35mm prints of copyrighted movies?

 

No, it's not automatically illegal to own a 35mm print. 

Roddy McDowell had his 35mm collection confiscated, but it was more about how the films were obtained than about the fact that they were 35mm.

Ah, ok.  Good to know and I'm pretty sure that's the guy I was referring to.
